Under normal circumstances, a 54-year-old man from Minnesota appearing on The View would not be the type of thing we cover. But these are not normal circumstances, because the middle-aged man in question was none other than Prince Rogers Nelson, and, seriously, look at what he is wearing. A quick rundown:

What appears to be either a leather jacket or the single dopest Hefty bag in history.

Pants that are not so much “yellow” as they are “YELLOW.”

Platform shoes that match said pants.

I apologize for the crappy quality banner image, but I literally could not wait any longer to share this with you. I was going to explode. Prince is the greatest. He hardly ever appears on television, and when he does he just drops in on The View, or he shows up to an interview with PBS’s Tavis Smiley looking immaculate like a fancy supervillain, or he does this WHICH WE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT, or he wears yellow leggings and a leather jacket like that’s a perfectly normal thing for a person to do in public at 11:30 in the morning.

Well, genius often comes with a healthy dose of crazy – what can you do? It’s the same reason why Dylan currently grooms himself to look like a demented 19th century riverboat gambler. Danger has the right attitude – just enjoy the wild ride – only so many mad geniuses in the world at any given time.
